I don't know of a function. Something like this may be what you want. not all elements have :contents-begin though
(let ((el (org-element-context))) (buffer-substring-no-properties (org-element-property :contents-begin el) (org-element-property :contents-end el))) It also a little tricky to figure out what to do about subheadings. Do they count as content or not? Richard Parsons writes: > Hi there > > Is there a function that will give me the content of the current item?
